779 A variable
The goddess of night was speechless.
she didn’t expect link to be so unpredictable.
It was reasonable to say that after he acknowledged his strength, the two sides should have stopped fighting and entered the stage of you ask and you answer, why did this person still kill him?
“Link, you have no morals!”
Link’s eyes brightened, and he said in a restrained tone,”Oh, you even know about martial virtue? You sneaked into my mechanical fortress in the middle of the night, entered the dream realm without permission, and started a fight in the name of the trial. You’re telling me this is called martial virtue?”
Link’s words left the goddess of the night speechless. However, her power was rapidly weakening, and the entire dream space had been isolated by the mysterious black shadow behind link. In this situation where her spiritual energy was weak, the only way for the goddess of the night to escape was to use a secret spell to escape Link’s dream space.
Everything around her fell into darkness. This was originally the environment that the goddess of night was most familiar with, but at this moment, it had become so strange and dangerous.
The goddess of the night felt as if her body was bound by something unknown, and energy poured out of the pores all over her body at every moment.
They had wanted to ambush link to test his strength. They didn’t expect him to have such a strange trick. Not only did they not gain the upper hand in the battle in the dream, but they were also at a disadvantage. She came here with a purpose. As long as link passed her test, he would receive the corresponding reward.
But now, everything was not going according to the goddess of the night’s plan. She suddenly felt helpless. She was used to observing Victoria’s fate, and she suddenly felt a sense of fear.
The image of the goddess of the night became clearer. Through the stars, link saw a crystal-clear and exquisite face. Her body was moving up and down, and her face was obviously angry. The most important thing was that this star, the goddess of the night, was now tightly bound by the thick tentacles of the dream Transcender, and the whole scene suddenly became indecent.
The goddess of night struggled for a moment and said with a slightly ashamed and angry tone, ” “Then what do you want?”
hearing this, link felt like he was seeing a village bully forcing a young girl into a corner. he was a little dazed.
you’re an observer. What can I, the leader of the outsiders, do to you? ” Link said innocently.
But after he finished, he changed the topic and said, ” but if you can disclose more information about the observer, i think we can let this matter go. ”
The goddess of night thought for a moment. In any case, this was the purpose of this trip, so it wasn’t considered to be admitting defeat. She said, ” “Then let me go first, and I’ll agree to your request.”
Link stretched out a finger and wagged it left and right.”No, this is another price.”
The goddess of the night could feel her spiritual energy draining away quickly. In the end, she gave in. If this were in the real world, link wouldn’t have been able to restrain her, and she wouldn’t have failed. It was only because she had come to the dream and fallen into Link’s trap that she was in a disadvantageous position.
As the goddess of the night that everyone in Victoria City worshipped, she was now imprisoned in someone else’s dream. This made the goddess of the night feel an unprecedented sense of shame.
you’re here to test me this time. Do you think the observer can see my fate? ”
Link threw out a sharp question.
The goddess of night frowned and thought for a moment. “I can’t see through your fate, mayfly.”
Because the goddess of night was in a weakened state, link could see her expression clearly. She clearly had more to say, but she was hesitant.
“You still have a second half to your sentence.” Link continued his aggressive attacks.
He understood that once the restraints were removed, the goddess of the night would escape the dream space and would definitely refuse to answer.
The goddess of night’s hesitation deepened. She didn’t know if she should say something deeper. After all, she couldn’t be sure if she would violate the observer’s ban or affect Link’s future.
did you say that I can’t see your fate, but someone above gave you an order to guide me? ” This was what link thought of after much consideration. The night goddess’s attitude and the conversation between soul singer and the goddess of magic gave link a bold guess.
If link had ” investigated ” the soul singer and the goddess of magic himself, they didn’t seem surprised by his arrival at all. It was as if this was how things should be. Then there was Victoria, where the goddess of the night came to visit, which made link even more certain of his guess.
He must have accidentally triggered some kind of plot, and the observer seemed to be deliberately guiding or even arranging his progress.
Every time he met an observer, he would receive a reward that was even better than the a-rank planet main storyline mission.
Wasteland planet’s ya Zhi Zi and Pandora’s Mage Tower were both powerful supports for link on his path to the sea of stars.
it made link feel like he was a baby babbling while learning how to speak. people even gave him a walker, knee pads, and other tools just to help him walk faster.
It was a strange feeling, but link felt that there must be some secret behind this observer.
back in pandora, this was just a wild guess in his head. however, now that the goddess of the night had come looking for him, link thought carefully and immediately felt that something was wrong.
There was a trace of panic in the eyes of the goddess of night, but she quickly concealed it and changed the subject. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
However, her words had already betrayed her heart. Link knew that he had guessed correctly.
It was just that the observer was already a mysterious race in the universe, and the players had not dug so deep in the previous life.
The thought of being targeted by an existence that could command the observer sent chills down his spine.
“Will there be an observer guiding me later?” link threw out another question.
at this moment, the image of the goddess of the night was getting thinner and fainter. she stared at link and said in a firm tone,”One last question.”
the goddess of the night felt that link’s questions were sharp. if she let him continue asking, she was afraid that he would soon exceed his authority and violate the contract.
Link nodded slightly. He couldn’t die on the goddess of the night either. After all, he still had to receive the reward later. If he really lowered their favorability, he would lose the Super luxurious reward. It would be a big loss.
it will be judged based on your behavior, but from what I know, I should be the last observer you’ll meet in the short term. That’s all I know.
After the goddess of the night finished, link waved his hand. The dream demon appeared behind link. Countless eyes on its head stared at the goddess of the night. Each eye had a yellow background and black vertical pupils. It looked eerie and terrifying as if one’s soul would fall into it.
At the thought of such a terrifying creature using its tentacles to wrap around her, even the goddess of night, who was used to seeing strange things in Victoria City, shivered. She had been observing in Victoria for hundreds of years and had seen all kinds of strange and evil things on the planet, but this was the first time she had seen a mysterious creature full of void energy. This monster had the ability to create dreams and extract the spiritual energy of the other party in the dreams. It was really impossible to guard against.
She had been observing Link’s battle with the alien planet for the past two days. She thought that she had already understood Link’s extraordinary strength. She didn’t expect this guy to not only surprise her but also give her a shock.
The dream demon unwillingly pulled back all of its tentacles. Finally, it even wiped the tentacle at the side of its mouth. It looked like it was wiping it clean, but in reality, its eyes were still fixed on the night goddess. It was as if it could attack at any time if link gave the order.
The goddess of night suffered a loss in the dream and immediately said, ” “we’ll talk about the rest outside.”
She didn’t want to stay here any longer.
The goddess of night disappeared from where she was. Link turned to Pat the dream demon’s soft head. The guy squinted his eyes in enjoyment.
“Are you full? If you’re full, then get back to work. This woman is too ruthless. She destroyed two of my dream realms the moment she arrived. You’re responsible for repairing them!”
The dream sender demon blinked his eyes to indicate that he had received the mission. He then began to use his [ corrupted dream ] ability to reconstruct the dream.
link’s consciousness left the dream. then, his body on the bed slowly opened its eyes and saw the goddess of night floating in the air.
...
It was still adorned with Starlight, and its entire body was pitch-black, as if it was one with the starry sky.
Compared to the lithe and graceful figure that was revealed in the darkness, the goddess of the night now seemed to be wearing a new layer of clothes.
Although the analogy wasn’t gentlemanly, it was true.
Did you already know about Victoria’s fate? ” Link asked again, but this time, he was not asking about the observer. He was asking Victoria.
“Which aspect are you referring to?”
“Julian’s death.”
The goddess of night pondered for a moment and said, ” ever since he chose to borrow the power of demons and evil gods, everything had already been set in stone. He had personally chosen his own fate.
In Link’s previous life, Julian was still alive and well without Link’s interference. She had also used the power of demons and evil gods and had hidden it until version 6.0. Hence, link scoffed at the night goddess ‘words.
He was more convinced that his arrival had changed Julian’s ending.
Then there was the problem. If he was the variable that led to the change of fate, then was it inevitable or accidental that the observers guided him? Whether it was Lin Ke, Li Ke, or Chen Ke, as long as they did something similar, they would be guided.
Link’s thoughts were similar to the so-called historical necessity.
...
Were the great men the ones who created the direction of history, or was the direction set? without this great man, history would create another great man to carry out the same task.
If it was the second possibility, he could still accept it.
If it was the first possibility, link would be terrified.
It was even more creepy when it was connected to the fact that he had obtained a cheat after his rebirth.
“I’m the variable that’s affecting all of this, right?” Link said without reason. It was unknown whether he was talking to himself or asking.
The goddess of night was stunned for a moment, and she didn’t even react. After a moment, she said, ” the question is beyond my authority to answer.
link didn’t want to ask any more questions since he wouldn’t get any answers anyway. he reached out and said, “Hand it over.”
The goddess of the night was stunned again. She couldn’t keep up with Link’s thinking and rhythm.
The two of them stared at each other, and after a moment, the goddess of night asked, ” “What is it?”
” rewards? don’t you all give me some rewards after we meet? ”
The goddess of the night was speechless. She stared at link in a daze, thinking about a problem.
How could this guy ask for a reward so naturally?
The goddess of night was stunned for a long time before she slowly said, ” “I’m here to test your strength. Since even I can’t do anything to you, your strength has already reached the point where you don’t need any reward from me.”
After the goddess of night finished speaking, it was Link’s turn to be dumbfounded.
F * ck, does this mean that I’ve won wrongly and there’s no reward?
‘Goddess of the night, you can’t be so petty and not give me a reward just because I defeated you. You can’t play by the rules!’
However, the lady of the night changed her tone and said, ” “However, someone has entrusted me to bring you something. I hope you can make good use of it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, link received a system notification.
[ you have received the blueprint (incomplete) X1 of Tomoko’s design from the goddess of night, the truth crystal ball (purple), Julian’s possession card X1, and the substitute doll (purple). ]
Victoria’s reward had the strange characteristics of this planet. It was a ” local product “.
First, link happily accepted the remnants of Tomoko’s blueprint.
Including this scroll fragment, he now had a total of three fragments in his hands. He only needed seven to piece together a complete blueprint, and he was almost one-third of the way to possess a weapon from an advanced civilization.
Then, the truth crystal ball was a purple item. Its function fully reflected Victoria’s bizarreness.
[ truth crystal ball ]
[ quality: purple ]
[ description: able to view the status of the target from the perspective of the crystal ball, or a voice to predict future events ]
[ number of times: 10 ]
The truth crystal ball’s effects were very powerful. Link had learned about it from his previous life. After some players obtained it, they gained a lot of benefits from the special effects of this item. Later on, they became slightly famous players by relying on the accumulation of knowledge from the truth crystal ball. This thing would only be more useful in Link’s hands. However, there were also disadvantages to this. If the target was too powerful, there was a risk of being discovered, or the future they wanted to see was too chaotic, and the content would be unclear.
If the truth crystal ball was already surprising enough, then the Julian possession card was completely out of his expectations.
In his previous life, players jokingly called this an experience card.
Using the card, one could temporarily obtain the strength and abilities of the corresponding NPC. However, the possession cards that most players could obtain were not too powerful. They were usually more functional. The main reason was that it was rather awkward to obtain it.
this item could only be dropped after killing an NPC.
Thus, there was a paradox.
If he could kill an NPC, it meant that he was stronger than him. What was the point of having his possession card then?
however, the appearance of the possession card had also caused another problem. some players had begun to actively and systematically target the npcs in the game. they had even formed an organization with the goal of killing npcs and obtaining the possession card. then, they would sell the possession card at a high price for the major forces and guilds to use in instance dungeons or during important battles.
This caused the relationship between the NPCs and the players to become tense in the middle and late stages of the game, and it also triggered a lot of chaotic plots.
The last item was the substitute doll.
It was still the same Victoria style.
What’s the function?
